I’ve been a tad serious lately, for a number of reasons, and it kinda snuck into the last couple of posts, which is really not why I started this blog. To be honest I started this blog so I could gush about retro fashions but that went out of the window pretty quickly, mostly due… Continue reading [Fashion] Something fluffy for a change…

Yeah, I’ve been remiss, sic, in writing stuff for the blog lately. It’s been a perfect storm of crap and stress lately, nothing serious in a ‘oh my God, my feet are on fire’ kind of way, but just enough to take the edge off of any form of fun. I had my drab identity… Continue reading [Philosophy] The Super-Heroine origin, REDUX!

I discovered the art work of Cindy Sherman pretty late on. In fact, I didn’t discover it, someone commented on one of my pictures on Flickr how much it looked like one of Cindy Sherman’s, and I was intrigued as to who that was. Turns out she is a photographer who was huge in the… Continue reading [Humour] Cindy Sherman and the Art of the Pose(r)

I had a wonderful encounter this week with two gloriously beautiful people and it’s got me thinking about what I do, or more importantly, what I don’t do, and why I don’t do it. Yeah, difficult sentence that one wasn’t it? Stick with it, it’ll make sense. But first, what happened.? Well, I was in… Continue reading [Philosophy] ‘How not to be seen’, or failing to deal with the FEAR.

So, a little secret, just between us. I was thinking of winding back on the Sarah time, not for any real reason not to do it, but because it is a stressful way of life, regardless of how much I let the inner girl gush about it. Real life is a drag, pardon the expression,… Continue reading [Fashion] A retro re-discovery with lots of Squeeeee.

I am climbing the walls. Not literally, of course, but figuratively, in an hourglass-figure-that-I-definitely-don’t-have kind of way. See, dear readers, it’s been a while since I rolled up the stockings, slipped the tootsies into a pair of patent heels, and wobbled my way into a frock. Just under four months to be exact. And now… Continue reading [Humour] Before the Storm (of Petticoats)

Yesterday was International Woman Day, and whilst I think it’s an admirable thing to celebrate, what with being a non-sexist person and dressing as a woman some of the time, it got me thinking about the way we, the inter-sexed if you like, operate as a community. And I have to say it – I… Continue reading [Philosophy] Our Beautiful Community

Fifty years. Hellfire, when I was growing up people over the age of forty were ancient. Now I’m literally on the verge of staring back down half a century you realise how misguided youth can be. On the plus side, I reached fifty (much to my surprise having convinced myself I was going to die… Continue reading [Fashion] The ups and downs of birthdays…

Right, a proper fashion, femmtastic, gushy-girlie blog post for a change. Well, actually not quite, but I want to show the difference her smile makes. See, if I was suddenly revealed to my friends and work-colleagues tomorrow 80% of them would deny it. Partly because of the sheer magic and skill of Cindy at BWBGs,… Continue reading [Fashion] Her ‘Moaner-Lisa’ Smile

I promise I’ll write a proper gushy femmtastic frockingly fun post soon, but following on from my maudlin little wandering into the garden of self-obsession (I always wanted to be a goth girl growing up, guess I’m getting a chance now) I thought I’d write something a bit more useful this time. For a long… Continue reading [Advice] I’ve Flickr’d my Tweets, and been Zuckerberg’d…..
